Can you replace ‘be it’ with plural?
Is it great to develop your story as a novel or movie?
Is it possible to join the plural in ‘be it’ and ‘be it’?
Who could have thought great stories would you like to tell?
I always think “it” refers to a singular form of noun. What I thought was that ‘This is it’ is so? So, be it.’always has a singular.’ Is it true?
What was your suggestion?
“It” plural pronouns “they”, “them” and “those” So, Be they a book or a movie, good story is always appreciated.
If a book is attained by plural words in a singular language, then it should be preserved. When used with plurals, be it transforms to be they, and the rest of your sentence also transforms to plural.
When movies are read as good good stories are always appreciated. So, Be it books or movie, a good story is always appreciated. From good movies or books, great stories are always appreciated (Added the word “from”).
According to the British National Corpus ( http://bncweb.lancs.ac.hr.bnc.bnc.ca/) “The UK is a British nation”. uk ), all the examples shown (with the construction “be it + noun 1 or noun 2”) suggested the use of the singular form of the nouns that come after it.
Here are a few examples I retrieved from the corpus:-
-
When he commits himself to an assignment-be it a poem, a book, a song, or simply aiding a fellow-scribbler’s itch, he does it with gusto — con brio, as he might annotate one of his scores.
-
Inverting a literary trope has the same effect of mimicry of the dominant, be it racial intrusion or cultural reality.
